Answer to:
Do you ever judge someone's intelligence based on their religion?
Of course! Especially in cases where they can deny scientific facts and evidence based solely on faith.
Not just religious people, but people who ignore scientific evidence (I would judge a conservative creationist the same way I would judge an atheist who refuses to vaccinate their children due to fears of autism).

The only way to lose weight FAST will NOT get the fat off of your body, they are methods that include losing water by become severely dehydrated, losing muscle, etc.
If you want to lose FAT, you need to expend more calories than you take in, so if you are taking in 1500 calories a day, you should be burning 1600+ a day.
You SHOULD care if a weight loss method is dangerous, many of these...

I didn't let ANYBODY visit my babies (even to come over to my house) for the first two weeks of thier lives and I have NEVER regretted it, in fact the only things I do regret since my first born came along are doing the things that went against my instincts.

My milk dried up,because my daughter had too weak of a lach! But now I'd like to try and brestfeed her again or at least offer it to her in a bottle or sippy,because it's so good for her. How can i make myself lactate again?
There are lots of things you can do, also keep in mind you milk wouldn't totally dry up until about 45 days after the last latch, and baby ususaly gets more than we know.

We tried lots and fell in love with the BumGenius 3.0 one-size diapers. They did not fit my baby until he was about 1-2 months old, but we used disposables in the begining anyways, so it wasn't a big deal.

Is it safe to use cabbage to make your boobs stop leaking while you're still pregnant? I'm 22 weeks and I'm already leaking but I was told not to use cabbage because the baby gets nutrients from the milk right now
A baby still in utero is not affected by breast milk. Yes, it is safe to use cold cabbage as a means to help, but it not very helpful for leaking. Cold cabbage compresses are used for engorgement pain after your baby is born. I'd suggest finding some comfortable nursing pads to use for the duration of your pregnancy as well as a good book on breastfeeding.

Before children turn one thier main source of nutritition should be breastmilk or formula. They should be breastfed or bottle fed before solids, every time they eat solids.

Anyone have any good home remedies for teething? Our little one is almost 5 months and having a really rough time with it. I am not opposed to modern medicine, but I would like to steer clear of Tylenol b/c I have an allergy to it. Any ideas?
Clove oil on the gums, an ice cube wrapped in a cloth, spoons kept in the fridge for chewing on, cold wet cloths for chewing.
AFTER solids are introduced, Frozen Bananas, raw cold carrots (a big enough chunk to hold) seem to help too.

A child this age does not poo and pee out of spite or anger. It would be a GREAT thing to spend some time reading about your child's development to understand why he does what he does and what he can understand, it will go a long way, best of luck.

I think it's a case by case basis. I'll leave my 2 year old in a childproofed room for a few minutes to go to another room within ear's shot, but wouldn't trust to leave her in the kitchen or bathroom for more than 5 seconds if I wasn't there.
I depends on where you are leaving them, what they are exposed to, how curious they are, what kind of mood they are in etc.

Is it appropriate to breastfeed in public? Are there some places where it is more/less acceptable than others?
I think every time a woman breastfeeds in public she is doing her part to promote breastfeeding. I don't think women should have to cover up (this can create breastfeeding problems for new moms). And I certainly don't think she needs to find a place out of the public eye. I think when a baby needs to be fed the best thing in the world a woman can do is find a comfy place to sit and...

My sister-in-law is pregnant and we believe i may be too. She told me to start prenatals asap. Im not sure if i should start them yet. Can prenatal vitamins give you a false positive on a blood test?
NO. It is a good idea to start taking them the minute you start trying to have a baby or think you might be pregnant. nothing in a prenatal vitamin will afect the test results, only hormonal medications would.

My husband lets his ex wife dictate what goes on in our house about their daughter. He feels like she gives him no choice so I am just suppose to go along no matter how I feel about it. What would you do if another woman was running your house?
This must be a difficult situation for you. I think It's importanat to know a few things about children of divorce though. They need consistant rules and boundaries, and consistant routines and activities, especially when in a shared custody arrangment. These things are crucial for said children and can and will contibute to the affect the divorce has on the child.

So, I thought I had the flu. Turns out I found out today I am pregnant... I'm really unsure on what to do because this was a total accident as I had used precautions... I'm freaking out and don't really know what I should do... Any help, please?
You have 3 options.
Abortion
Adoption
Parenting
Find somebody you know and trust who will not be biased, possibly at a planned parenting clinic, possibly a friend, but find somebody to talk to. You don't need anybody else to tell you what to do or not to do, you need to talk it out and realise your feelings and decide for yourself what you want to do. Best of Luck!

It might help to have clean nursing pads beside the bed for when you wake up. It might help also to have a towel on the bed where you sleep. Pulling some ice packs out of the freezer before bed might help in the middle of the night also. If baby goes to bed before you, go in for a feed just...

Is fourteen to young to have sex?
That is a personal question that each case will have a diffrent answer to. Here's MY opinon...
At 14 years old, sex won't be that enjoyable. One of the main reasons to have sex is because it feels good but with the experience a 14 year old has... It just wouldn't be that great. My suggestion would be to perfect the masturbation thing first.

HI my name is monique im 18 years of age,and a parent of a 2month old baby,im haveing some difficulties with breast feeding,Im not producing enough milk for her,I know this because she still shows signs of being hungry...I had to supplement with some form
Contact LLL or a Local breastfeeding support group as soon as possible!! Supplementing with formula will decrease your supply even more, you should let your baby nurse for as long as she will go for and if you need to supplement as well, supplement with breastmilk. Feeding your child ONLY breastmilk is a great way to ensure you will produce enough milk.

Only guilty enough to drive her to help heal her children. It is likely said mother was also being abused and though people would love to say what they would do in a situation it is often VERY difficult to see the big picture until you are no longer a part of it.
Said mother should get herself and her children therapy and tell her children that she is sorry, once and make it meaningful....

Can prenatal vitimans affect a pregnancy test and give a positive sign?
No. Pregnancy tests are designed to identify certain hormones that are usualy only in your body during pregnancy, Prenatal vitamins DO NOT contain these hormones or signal your body to make them.
The only things that are common to give a false positive are hormones themselves (people taking fertility drugs and other hormone therapy are likely to have false positives)

I have a 1 1/2 year old boxer. he has become very aggressive toward people. No reason, some people he likes some he doesn't. this weekend he jumped thru the front door window after the mailman. He (the boxer) required surgery after severing an artery.
This must be very difficult. Aggression towards humans MUST be dealt with and is not something you can let slide or try to deal with. Talk to your vet about his aggression, buy some books about aggressive dogs, it may help pinpoint what his triggers are and get your dog in some obedience classes ASAP. Also I hate to say it but this would be a good time to ensure your dog is fixed.

Yes. As a bartender I refused to serve a pregnant lady alcohol once and got in trouble for it. I was given a talking to about her rights and my job and was told to go back out and serve her if she asked for another (my boss eventually had to give her the drink). She asked for another and a shot and I poured her a glass of milk.
I was almost fired.

If these requirements are no longer met, you are no longer to be considered common law married.

Did you have signs of a miscarriage? If you have heavy bleeding along with cramping there is no reason you should wait.

If one of the persons (again, regardless of gender) looked like they were unable to fight back or was seriously injured, I would call the police and then attempt to intervene.

Where is it legal to buy and consume marijuana in Canada: which provences or cities; and what are the laws about it?
It has been decriminalized, that does not make it legal, but when you are in the west (Calgary to Vicoria) you are far less likely to get into any serious trouble for possesing small amounts.

I use some chemical and some all natural cleaning products, except for times like now when I am pregnant, we ONLY use all natural, (mostly) homemade cleaning products, and will continue to do so until the baby is at least 1 year old. I've tested a lot of recipes and have found a few that work wonders, and some that do almost nothing, depending on what I'm cleaning.

I don't know much about this camera, but even some of thier point and shoots allows you to upgrade to a better lens (better zoom) when it is financially good for you.

Can a man who has been a Mormon all of his life and a woman who is a Mormon convert still have a temple marriage if they have had sex, but then chose to be abstinent from that point until marriage?
That is something they will only be able to know after talks with thier bishop. You must repent for your sins before being issued a Temple reccomend. But yes, it is possible.
If they are not ready for the temple, they may also get married outside and be sealed at a later date, this option however is not the preference for many Mormons.

If you are leasing a room from somebody, that person has no right whatsoever to give anybody the key and give them permission. Furthermore in most places he should have to give you about 24 hours notice if he even wants to come inside to check appliances, etc. If you are paying for a space, then he should NOT be having other people there. Seek Legal action, or move out, this situation is NO good.

I don't think it's something to worry too much about.
The biggest thing is if your dog can be controlled while having it's natural instincts you describe racing through it's entire being. Would your dog have stopped if you were there screaming or yelling? If not you might want to consider a few classes that encorporate distraction into the training, it is VERY important...

Not at all. I think people should have a right to thier own death, and thier own life. I think it's absurd for a society to put people to death or to force them to live against thier will. I think the government should stop telling people how to live thier lives.

I think the child's comfort should be the only factor.

Hairloss is something you can't do much about, we lose 80-100 hairs daily!

You'r hair will come out a little softer and a little smoother.

Tell him Flat out, you are NOT buying a car right now, just pricing them. OR call your phone company and ask how to block a specific number from calling you again...Around here it's *60

Is it true that whether or not a Mormon family gets into heaven is mostly based on the husband?
My answer is a little ignorant in that I don't REALLY know but Thought I would give it a stab since nobody likes this question.
Based on mormon belief, If a mormon family is to be together after they die they need to be sealed in the temple. When a family is sealed in the temple, the wife is given a name, not to be told to any other human except her husband who will use this name to...

How do Mormons react to an adult child rejecting their faith?
Depends on the family. MY family send the missonaries, and constantly tells the adult children that they want to find new spouses so they can have a proper mormon family. They constantly and consistantly convey disappointment in everything the adult children do and offer the church as a solution to all of life's problems. So much so that the adult children no longer enjoy thier...

I am pregnant with my first & currently 4 months along. I am afraid since I am a stay at home wife-soon 2 be mom, our child will not get to know her father well since he works. Is there any advice you could give?
Having a parent (you) at home is SO good for a child, good for you! My husband owrks during the day and comes home at night and the minute he walks through the door, our child Screams "DADDY!!" and is SO happy to see him, the reason she does this is because she loves him and has a very special relationship with him, he's around everyday in the evening and all day on weekends,...
Answer to:
My mother wants me to get an abortion. i never thought that she could decide so quickly to get rid of her grandchild. i'm 18 and a freshman in college. i don't know what to do.
You mentioned this as a child, so already you view it as a being. Thos that get abortions usually view such things as a pregnancy, not as a child. Don't let ANYBODY (espesially those on AB) bully you into continuing or not continuing this pregnancy. The choice is yours and yours alone. Good luck!

Answer to:
Is it ok that my 2 month old needs so much attention at bedtime to fall asleep and will this change in time or have I developed a bad sleeping habit already and how do I change it if so?
It's very normal, as doobie said, at 2 months it's very important for baby to spend lots of time with you, and bedtime is no exception. You can develop a consistant bedtime routine now and slowly but surely your child will be ready to be put down easier. It can take months for some, years for others. But it WILL change.
Just a side note, in case you were considering it, in my...

Answer to:
I am going to an evening wedding and am wondering if it would be appropriate to wear a pair of white linen pants with a black top and black sandals. It is not a black tie wedding.
No, don't wear white!!! It may be old fashioned, and I HATE old fashioned things but I would be pretty upset if anybody wore white to my wedding, evening or not.
Pants are fine, but don't wear white to a wedding!!!
Answer to:
Do you think that all religions will coexist peacefully one day?
Never. Religions contradict each other, and that will always lead people to believe that something is wrong and something else is right, which leads to argument.

What do you do if the person you love most has just told you they rely on drugs? Do you stick by them even though they've told you they dont want to quit. Or do you leave them?
Would you leave a person if they needed anti-depressants to function properly? DO they function? How long have you not known about this? Do they lie to you?

Answer to:
Found out by accident my wife of 10 months cheated with my best friend twice. She said they broke it off and begged for a 2nd chance when I confronted her, but I don't know if I can ever trust/be intimate with her again. Anyone with experience or advice?
I would suggest some time away from her, if you leave her or kick her out even for a week or 2, you will know if you want to get back together or not, either way it will be hard. If you do decide to get back together, make her seek counselling, or go together.
If you do decide not to take her back, be strong and remember how much she hurt you.
I'm so sorry this happened to you so early.

Should i drink milk while breastfeeding
Would you like to?
If you drink milk regularly, you don't have to stop just because you are breastfeeding, unless you have reason to think your baby has reacted badly to it.
If you don't like to drink milk (like me) just be sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet, in fact, make sure you get enough of everything, all the vitamins that go into your body will be...

Answer to:
How do you feel about parents who take their young, noisy children (like, baby age through about age 7) into quiet places like a nice restaurant or church service? Do you get annoyed, or do you accept that the parents might have had no other option?
Neither. I think it's fun and a loud child often spices these places up a bit. Is a parent really not supposed to take thier child to church?!
Fussing and getting upset about things is an important part of cognitive and social behavioural learning, without doing these things, they don't learn how to properly interact.
